With the deployment of LTE, most operators
will have three simultaneous radio access
technologies to manage, adding extra pressure
to their already tight cost structures. This
book offers a multi-technology approach that
considers the implications of the different
SON requirements for 2G and 3G networks, as
well as 4G wireless technologies. Addressing
the challenges in each layer, it covers relevant
cases from the areas of self-planning, selfoptimization and self-healing, including
theoretical, simulative and practical aspects.
Written by leading experts in the planning and
optimization of Multi-Technology and MultiVendor wireless networks.

Mobile agents reduce
the flow of raw data in
networks by moving
computation to data rather than data to
computation, thus overcoming the network
latency that is critical to real-time applications.
This book introduces the concepts and
principles of mobile agents, provides an
overview of mobile agent technology, and
focuses on applications in networking and
distributed computing. It shows graduate
students, instructors, and professionals how
to simplify development and improve the
performance of network distributed systems
in mobile agent technology.
